Great day on the water! Caught a huge mahi. Captain and first mate super friendly.

Hooked a gigantic mahi mahi right away. The captain and first mate were extremely friendly and we really enjoyed ourselves. Would book again.

Excellent fishing experience

Went for a full day trip and got spoiled by the crew (Joe and Austin). Got a ~500 pound blue marlin which made it my best fishing experience. I'm thankful for the time I had with the crew!
